Canvas: Chris Wessman - Brief Article

Thrasher Magazine, Nov, 2002 by Keith Eric Davidson

IS SOMEONE WHO DOES, NOT SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T. Whether it's skate-boarding, assisting the Cohen brothers on their newest feature film, dating a famous rock star's daughter, getting asked to play cello on a Jane's Addiction tribute record, or creating beautiful artwork, Chris is definitely not someone who is sitting around waiting for something to happen.

The first impression I had of Chris was "Oh great, another nerdy, glasses-wearing, Silverlake art fag." But after getting to know him I realized he's the real deal that all of those thrift-store-cool junkies are trying to bite.
